Nursery World - Free pack can teach nursery children about safety using the roads

* To coincide with this week's Road Safety Week, Fisher-Price has developed a free pre-school teaching pack which introduces children to road safety in a fun and creative way. The 'Starting Out with Fisher-Price' pack contains guidelines for nursery nurses and teachers, a road safety song and a floor game incorporating Fisher-Price 'Play Family' characters. It is designed to reinforce important road safety issues with pre-school children such as playing in appropriate quiet areas rather than on busy roads, staying on the pavement, not crossing between parked cars, and using pedestrian crossings and crossing patrols. The game aims to stimulate role-play and discussion on road safety, such as the different forms of road crossing and the variety of traffic children see on their way to nursery.
